Minimum API for implementing Android Deep Linking

问题:

I follow Android official tutorial for implementing android deep linking. Here is the requirement for this tutorial:

Android Studio version 1.0+
The sample code
The Google app version 2.8+
A test device with Android 4.1+
A USB micro to USB cable.

So base on this, I can understand minimum API for deep linking is Android 4.1 (API >= 17). But after I follow, I really don't see any functions that use API>=17. You just register in manifest.xml file and handle in activity, done.

So my question is: Can I implement Android Deep linking at older android such as android 2.3.3.

Thanks :)

There's no API there that requires API 17. However, the version of Google Search that enables deep linking does require API 17, hence why you must use an API17+ device to test deep linking.
